I am watching people outside my window running and cycling. I hope they are truly enjoying themselves, being in their bodies and in their environment. I say that because I think health, not fitness, is a very different sight line that truly gets lost. What is the place of physical "fitness" in a person's overall health? How are we defining health? How do we connect movement in the physical arena to the spiritual and/or emotional/mental? I was once told, probably by a psychic or spiritual reader, that it is important for people to exchange air from the lungs daily. He didn't say exercise or movement though it was implied. I liked this way of connecting to physical activity as it linked my whole system to the process of being alive.
I imagine my ancestors moved because it was part of their lives, not something they went somewhere to do.
Yes. I have commented elsewhere that when exercise became part of my life, rather than something 'extra', it cemented itself into my being and I am better off for that. I do 'go to classes' (martial arts) but it began as part of my caring responsibilities for my daughter as we'd go together. I love the notion of 'exchanging air'!
